Why maybe because:
- Security folks want to lock down access to corporate data
- Common folks don't want company security stuff on their device but like to access corporate data. (have the cake and eat it too?)
I think the common folks have not yet grasped the idea their device is actually a computer about which they have no understanding.
Security folks know that the devices are computers but don't have a proper security policy/procedures in place.
Don't believe me, check below.................
(From the article)
For instance, 98% of the IT managers surveyed said their companies had BYOD security polices in place. About a third said their companies required employees to install an IT-mandated security application on their mobile devices while 20% said that personal devices can access their corporate network only if the devices had the requisite security controls in place.
Yet, fewer than 20% of the IT managers surveyed said their companies had yet to create way to enforce the policies.
Despite BYOD policies and controls IT managers say have been implemented at their companies, less than 20% of workers connected to corporate networks said they had installed a full security app on their personal devices.
The survey also revealed a reluctance on the part of workers to allow IT personnel install security software on their devices.
More than half of the employees surveyed feared that the company would gain access to their personal data via corporate security tools. Some 46% of workers said they feared personal data would be lost if they left the company. The same number feared a company-mandated security app installed on personal devices would let managers track their location.
Nearly half of worker said they would stop using personal devices at work if they were required to install a company-mandated security application.
